College 


To  those  who  desire  facts  concerning  the  present  status  of 
engineering  education  in  our  State,  this  bulletin  is  respectfully 
dedicated. 

While  many  people  are  familiar  in  a  general  way  with  the 
work  as  carried  on  at  the  College,  there  are  many  others  who 
have  not  realized  that  The  School  of  Engineering  is  not  only 
many  years  older  than  the  next  oldest  in  the  State,  but  that  it  has 
profited  by  experience  and  has  developed  courses  in  the  various 
branches  so  that  now  a  student  receives  training  that,  in  many 
respects,  rivals  that  received  at  the  highly  endowed  institutions  of 
the  North  and  East. 

The  courses  as  at  present  outlined  represent  a  standard  as 
high  or  higher  than  that  offered  to  any  young  man  in  the  State 
by  institutions  within  reasonable  distance  of  his  home.  The 
equipment  also  shows  considerable  care  and  forethought  in  selec- 
tion, and,  while  it  has  a  creditable  appearance,  as  evidenced  by 
the  illustrations  in  this  pamphlet,  the  main  idea  in  its  selection 
was  the  benefit  that  may  be  derived  by  the  student  when  he  works 
on  various  problems  in  the  laboratory. 

As  has  been  demonstrated,  a  boy  can  become  an  excellent  en- 
gineer and  perhaps  never  see  the  inside  of  one  of  our  modern  en- 
gineering schools,  but  who  of  present  day  parents  would  care  to 
start  their  boy  with  such  a  handicap?  Of  the  number  who  start 
out  to  make  of  themselves  self-made  engineers,  very  few  indeed 
ever  attain  any  prominence ;  while  the  percentage  of  failures 
among  college  graduates  is  very  small.  An  engineer  at  the  pres- 
ent day  must  be  a  Mathematician,  a  Physicist,  a  Chemist,  a  Pub- 
lic Speaker  and  must,  beside  these,  have  many  other  qualifica- 
tions. He  must  know  how  to  use  English  correctly,  he  must  be  a 
mechanic,  he  must  have  a  general  knowledge  of  all  branches  of 
engineering  and  a  specific  knowledge  of  one  particular  branch. 
Such  training  as  above  outlined  is  the  aim  of  instruction  offered 
in  engineering  at  the  A.  and  M.  College.

PREPARATION 

The  authorities  of  the  institution  recognize  that  in  order  to 
train  a  student  for  the  profession  of  engineering  a  good  founda- 
tion is  necessary.  The  work  at  this  College  has  always  been 
planned  so  that  it  could  be  of  most  value  to  those  who  desired  to 
follow  the  courses  presented.  Recently,  on  account  of  the  in- 
creasing number  of  first  class  high  schools  throughout  the  State, 
the  College  has  been  enabled  to  raise  its  standard  to  a  straight 
fifteen  units  entrance  requirement  for  admission  to  the  Freshman 
class  in  the  engineering  courses.  For  those  who  have  completed 
the  equivalent  of  the  tenth  grade,  the  engineering  preparatory 
course  is  planned.  This  should  not  be  confused  with  the  regular 
Sub-Freshman  course.  The  student  finishing  the  Sub-Freshman 
course  is  admitted  without  conditions  to  the  Engineering  Pre- 
paratory course.  In  this  latter  course  every  effort  is  made  to 
make  the  training  thorough  and  adaptable  to  the  work  that  is  to 
follow.  It  will  be  noted,  therefore,  by  comparison  of  courses  and 
equipment,  that  this  College  is  in  the  front  rank  with  other  col- 
leges and  universities  offering  engineering  courses. 

THE  AIM  OF  THE  SCHOOL 

The  aim  of  the  instruction  is  not  to  set  the  "almighty  dollar" 
as  a  goal  for  our  graduates,  but  to  train  young  men  in  a  broad 
way  for  successful  and  useful  careers  in  their  chosen  profession. 
If  we  succeed  in  the  latter  purpose,  the  first  will  not  be  wanting. 
While  the  engineering  instruction  is  not  neglected,  enough  work 
is  required  in  other  courses  so  that  a  student  learns  to  appreciate 
the  fact  that  what  he  can  do  as  a  life  work  only  serves  as  one 
small  mite  toward  the  public  benefit.  He  learns  to  find  much 
pleasure  in  his  daily  occupation,  and  after  graduation  finds  that 
it  is  not  all  drudgery.  A  prominent  engineer  once  said :  "A  man 
who  designs  a  high  class  automobile  and  sees  it  in  operation  de- 
rives more  pleasure  than  the  plutocrat  who  runs  it."  This  state- 
ment applies  with  equal  force  to  any  successful  engineering  work. 


The  School  of  Engineering 


The  illustration  above  shows  several  views  in  the  College 
Power  Plant. 

The  first  and  second  views  show  some  of  the  engine  equip- 
ment which  furnishes  power  for  various  purposes  about  the 
campus. 

The  equipment  in  the  engine  room  consists  of  one  I4xi6-inch 
enclosed,  self-oiling  Brownell  engine  directly  connected  to  a  IOO 
K.  W.  250- volt,  direct  current  generator,  and  two  ioxio-inch 
Ideal  engines,  each  directly  connected  to  a  40  K.  W.  250-volt, 
direct  current  generator.     In  addition  to  these  there  is  a  motor- 


Oklahoma  A.  &  M.  College 


generator  set  connected  to  the  city  lines  to  serve  in  emergencies. 
The  motor  is  a  2,500-volt,  60-cycle,  3-phase  induction  motor 
rated  at  35  horsepower. 

It  will  be  noted  that  automatic  cutoff  engines  were  used  in 
this  plant  instead  of  more  economical  four-valve  or  compound 
engines  on  account  of  the  fact  that  for  considerable  periods  in 
the  year  the  exhaust  steam  is  used  for  heating  purposes. 

The  boiler  plant  is  a  model  for  cleanliness  and  can  serve  as  a 
pattern  for  many  commercial  and  municipal  plants  in  the  vicinity. 
The  capacity  of  this  part  of  the  plant  is  much  in  excess  of  the  en- 
gine equipment,  having  a  rating  of  770  horsepower,  divided  as 
follows :  Three  200-horsepower,  Babcock  &  Wilcox  watertube 
boilers,  and  two  return  tubular  boilers.  The  illustration  shows 
one  battery  of  two  200-horsepower  boilers.  The  large  boiler  ca- 
pacity is  to  take  care  of  the  large  heating  load.  It  should  be  noted 
that  this  plant  is  primarily  a  central  heating  plant. 

The  fuel  used  at  the  plant  is  fuel  oil.  This  oil  is  pumped  from  a 
railroad  siding  at  a  distance  of  about  a  mile  and  a  half.  The  ca- 
pacity of  the  oil  storage  tank  is  about  four  tank  cars,  or  40,000 
gallons.

BUILDINGS  FOR  ENGINEERING  INSTRUCTION 

Our  frontispiece  shows  an  elevation  of  the  new  Engineering 
Building.  This  building  represents  the  embodiment  of  the  most 
advanced  ideas  in  design  of  buildings  for  engineering  instruction. 
The  36,000  square  feet  of  floor  space  is  devoted  to  the  various 
laboratories,  classrooms,  drawing  rooms,  offices  and  the  engineer- 
ing library.  The  building  is  150  by  80  feet,  three  stories  high, 
built  of  reinforced  concrete  and  brick,  with  trimmings  of  white 
limestone,  and  presents  a  very  handsome  appearance.  It  is  abso- 
lutely fireproof. 

The  Shop  Building  provides  accommodations  for  the  various 
shops  necessary  for  engineering  instruction,  namely,  the  machine 
shop,  forge,  foundry  and  carpenter  shops.  These  shops  repre- 
sent a  combined  floor  space  of  11,200  square  feet. 

In  addition  to  the  above,  the  modern  power  plant  of  the  Col- 
lege, in  which  are  housed  boilers  of  770  horsepower  capacity, 
high  class  engines  and  auxiliaries,  is  available  for  tests  conducted 
by  engineering  students. 

STUDENT  ACTIVITIES 


Besides  all  of  the  various  literary,  social  and  athletic  organi- 
zations of  A.  and  M.  College  open  to  all  students,  there  are  the 
two  organizations,  The  Engineering  Society  and  the  student 
branch  of  the  American  Institute  of  Electrical  Engineers,  for  the 
These  societies  not  only  give  the  student  a  broader

view  of  his  profession,  but  promote  a  social  intermingling  that  is 
so  necessary  in  broadminded  men. 

The  Engineering  Society  meets  regularly  every  other  Wednes- 
day, at  which  time  technical  papers  are  presented.  Manufactur- 
ing or  large  engineering  projects  are  shown  by  motion  pictures. 
This  society  publishes  a  bulletin  in  which  timely  engineering  top- 
ics are  discussed.  During  the  May  Carnival  at  the  College  this 
society  always  has  an  elaborate  engineering  entertainment,  be- 
sides one  or  more  smaller  functions  during  the  year. 

A  branch  of  the  American  Institute  of  Electrical  Engineers  is 
located  at  the  College.  The  members  all  receive  the  publications 
of  the  parent  organization. 

THE  SCHOOL  AN  AID  TO  THE  PEOPLE  AT  LARGE 


The  School  of  Engineering  is  always  at  the  service  of  the  peo- 
ple of  Oklahoma  and  its  Faculty  answers  inquiries  regarding  en- 
gineering problems  that  arise — if  the  service  does  not  involve 
questions  regarding  the  relative  merit  of  manufactured  machines, 
and  the  information  desired  does  not  call  for  too  much  of  the  De- 
partment's time  in  answering.  No  charge  is  made  for  such  ser- 
vice for  residents  in  the  State,  and  replies  are  made  promptly,  if 
within  the  scope  of  The  School. 

Besides  the  above  service,  the  laboratories  are  equipped  with 
apparatus  for  commercial  testing  of  building  materials,  of  ma- 
chinery, and  various  other  engineering  investigations  that  may  be 
desired  by  municipalities,  public  or  private  corporations  or  by  in- 
dividuals. The  expenses  in  such  instances  are  borne  by  the  per- 
sons for  whom  the  work  is  done.  The  approximate  cost  can  be 
learned  by  addressing  The  School  of  Engineering  of  the  College.

ENGINEERING  SHORT  COURSE 


Another  step  in  advance  has  been  made  by  The  School  of 
Engineering  in  the  establishment  of  an  Engineering  Short  Course, 
to  be  given  in  Stillwater  during  the  regular  College  Short  Course 
Week  in  January.  This  is  in  no  way  offered  as  a  substitute  for 
our  regular  courses  in  engineering,  as  it  has  been  shown  that  the 
length  of  courses  as  now  scheduled  should  be  a  minimum  in  which 
to  train  engineers,  but  the  short  course  is  offered  to  help  the  lay- 
man and  the  artisan  to  solve  problems  which  he  may  encounter  in 
everyday  life.  The  lectures  and  demonstrations  that  are  planned 
are  of  an  eminently  practical  nature.  This  course  begins  Mon- 
day, January  n,  191 5.

The  field  of  Mechanical  Engineering  is  perhaps  as  diversified 
as  any  young  engineer  may  wish.  The  broadest  division  of  the 
work  is  practically  covered  by  the  following:  Power  Develop- 
ment, Power  Transmission,  Power  Utilization,  Manufacture,  De- 
signing, Testing,  Heating  and  Ventilation,  Refrigeration  and  Sci- 
entific Management. 

The  above  divisions  are  each  in  themselves  almost  too  much 
for  a  man  to  master  thoroughly,  and  so  in  the  subject  matter 
which  follows  some  branches  of  the  above  divisions  are  discussed 
with  the  view  of  assisting  those  contemplating  taking  up  the  work 
in  forming  some  opinion  as  to  which  channel  shall  receive  their 
chief  effort. 

No  claim  is  made  for  a  graduate  of  the  Mechanical  Engin- 
eering Department  that  he  is  accomplished  in  all  the  above  divis- 
ions. He  is  only  prepared  with  a  foundation  upon  which  to  build, 
and  his  success  will  be  commensurate  with  individuality,  person- 
ality and  adaptability  to  his  chosen  profession.  It  will,  however, 
be  well  to  add,  in  fairness  to  the  Department,  that  practically  all 
our  graduates  have  been  successful. 

If  a  student's  interests  lie  in  power  development,  he  may 
wish  to  specialize  in  Gas  Engineering,  in  Steam  Engineering  or 
Hydraulic  Engineering.  If  Gas  Engineering  is  his  choice,  he  may 
follow  work  with  gas  plants  or  gas  engines.  In  Steam  Engineer- 
ing, the  field  may  be  divided  into  steam  production  and  steam 
utilization.  In  Hydraulic  Engineering,  the  mechanical  engineer 
is  principally  concerned  with  power  development.

Designing  may  be  followed  with  a  view  of  designing  machin- 
ery for  power  development  or  power  utilization.  Frequently  the 
mechanical  engineer  specializes  in  the  design  of  structures. 

Testing  work  of  mechanical  engineers  includes  tests  on  steam, 
gas  or  hydraulic  prime  movers,  also  tests  of  equipment  for  steam 
or  gas  production.  Aside  from  power  development,  testing  may 
be  conducted  with  machines  for  power  utilization. 

The  possibilities  of  specialized  work  of  a  graduate  of  this  De- 
partment has  been  suggested  above,  and  it  is  only  after  years  of 
work  that  he  reaches  the  point  of  greatest  usefulness  to  the  com- 
munity. However,  the  fundamental  principles  underlying  the 
design,  construction,  operation  and  testing  of  steam  boilers  and 
engines,  turbines,  gas,  compressed  air  and  refrigeration  machin- 
ery, form  a  foundation  for  this  future  work.  The  above  sub- 
jects are  developed  by  thorough  courses  in  mechanical  drawing, 
in  thermodynamics,  in  steam  and  gas  engineering,  and  also 
courses  in  applied  mechanics  and  hydraulics.  To  supplement 
these  courses  a  student  has  the  broadening  influences,  due  to  re- 
quirements of  a  certain  amount  of  work  in  other  engineering 
courses,  such  as  electrical  engineering,  contracts  and  specifica- 
tions, surveying  and  other  subjects.

The  field  of  Eleetrical  Engineering  is  a  broad  one,  offering 
opportunities  in  electrical  design,  manufacture,  construction  and 
operation.  The  growth  of  the  electrical  industries  has  been  rapid 
and  the  demand  for  skilled  electrical  engineers  has  often  ex- 
ceeded the  supply.  It  has  been  the  experience  of  this  College 
that  its  electrical  graduates  have,  practically  without  exception, 
good  positions  awaiting  them  on  graduation. 

Hydro-electric  developments,  electric  power  transmission  and 
electric  railways  offer,  perhaps,  the  widest  field  at  the  present 
time.  Less  than  10  percent  of  the  available  waterpower  of  this 
country  has  been  put  into  service,  and  the  rapid  development  of 
electric  railway  engineering  calls  for  an  army  of  trained  men. 

In  illuminating  engineering  the  development  has  been  very 
rapid  during  the  past  few  years,  the  high  efficiency  arc  lamp  and 
the  half-watt  tungsten  incandescent  lamp  being  prophetic  of  fur- 
ther progress  along  this  line. 

The  wireless  telegraph  has  rendered  great  service,  especially 
at  sea,  in  saving  life  and  property.  Marconi  has  recently  stated 
that  before  many  months  have  passed  regular  service  by  wireless 
telephone  between  ocean  liners  will  be  in  operation.

The  Electrical  Engineering  course  at  the  Oklahoma  A.  and  M. 
College  gives  the  student  a  thorough  working  knowledge  of  the 
fundamental  principles  underlying  the  design  and  operation  of 
electric  machinery.  It  is  expected  that  after  obtaining  the  proper 
practical  experience  the  graduate  will  be  able  to  act  successfully 
as  a  designer  of  electrical  machinery  or  manager  in  any  of  the 
electrical  industries,  or  to  take  charge  of  construction  work. 

Throughout  the  course  the  work  is  carried  on  by  lectures, 
recitations  and  laboratory  practice  in  the  management  and  test- 
ing of  electrical  machinery.  The  lectures  and  recitations  cover 
explanations  of  theoretical  principles  underlying  the  action  of  the 
various  machines  and  apparatus,  together  with  discussions  of 
modern  practice  in  all  the  important  subdivisions  of  electrical 
engineering.  Laboratory  practice  consists  in  performing  experi- 
ments, making  measurements  and  testing  machines  and  appara- 
tus, similar  to  the  commercial  testing  carried  on  by  manufactur- 
ing companies.  This  work  includes  electrical  measurements ; 
theory,  design  and  testing  of  rotary  converters  and  transformers ; 
storage  batteries,  arc  and  incandescent  lamp  testing;  power  plant 
and  sub-station  design ;  long-distance  power  transmission,  and 
systems  of  power  distribution;  electric  lighting,  electrical  wiring;

In  the  new  Engineering  Building  considerable  space  has  been 
set  aside  for  the  electrical  testing  and  experimental  laboratories. 

The  main  or  commercial  testing  electrical  laboratory  is  lo- 
cated on  the  first  Moor  of  the  new  building.  The  electrical  equip- 
ment has  been  selected  and  arranged  in  such  a  manner  as  to  af- 
ford students  the  greatest  facility  for  acquiring  a  thorough 
knowledge  of  different  types  of  electrical  machinery,  their  man- 
agement and  methods  of  testing.  Several  other  rooms  are 
equipped  for  laboratory  work,  such  as  standardizing,  storage  bat- 
tery, electric  furnace,  electro-chemistry  and  physics  laboratory, 
photometry  rooms,  etc. 

The  facilities  of  the  laboratories  and  shops  are  employed  in 
the  Senior -year  in  the  preparation  of  a  graduating  thesis,  and  ori- 
ginal work  is  required  of  each  student.  For  experiments  in  this 
connection,  instruments  of  high  precision  are  placed  at  the  dis- 
posal of  Senior  students,  and  the  workshops  of  the  College  afford 
opportunity  for  the  construction  of  special  apparatus. 

An  active  branch  of  the  American  Institute  of  Electrical  En- 
gineers has  been  organized  at  the  College,  meeting  once  each 
week  for  informal  discussion  of  the  proceedings  of  the  Institute.

EQUIPMENT 

DEPARTMENT  OF  CIVIL  ENGINEERING 


Alfred    Boyd,   Professor 

The  work  usually  included  under  the  term  civil  engineering  is 
so  varied  that  no  one  can  master  it  completely  in  the  course  of  a 
lifetime.  Our  aim  during  the  College  course  is  to  give  a  thorough 
grounding  in  the  underlying  principles.  The  civil  engineer  is  ex- 
pected to  be  familiar  with  the  location  and  construction  of  rail- 
roads ;  the  construction  and  maintenance  of  city  streets  and  coun- 
try roads ;.  the  design  of  water  supply  systems  and  sewage  dis- 
posal plants ;  the  irrigation  and  drainage  of  land ;  the  designing 
of  bridges  in  concrete  and  steel. 

That  phase  of  civil  engineering  which  affects  more  people  of 
the  State  than  any  other  is  highway  improvement.  We  are  enter- 
ing upon  an  era  of  better  roads.  Interest  in  the  subject  has  al- 
ready been  excited,  and  the  civil  engineer  is  expected  to  take  a 
part  in  the  work  of  educating  the  people  on  the  subject  of  roads 
as  well  as  in  the  construction  of  the  roads  themselves.  If  our 
highway  improvement  is  to  result  in  any  permanent  good  it  must 
be  done  by  men  who  are  trained  in  that  kind  of  work. 

The  subjects  of  water  supply  and  sewage  disposal  are  related

and  are  of  increasing  importance  every  year.  Every  summer  a 
great  many  Oklahoma  towns  are  distressed  with  the  question  of 
obtaining  an  adequate  supply  of  water.  Many  of  the  problems 
involved  call  for  engineering  ability  of  the  highest  order. 

Irrigation  in  Oklahoma  has  hardly  obtained  a  good  start. 
Probably  the  most  of  the  development  will  be  on  a  small  scale, 
but  will,  nevertheless,  present  some  interesting  subjects  for  study 
and  investigation. 

The  railroads  will  continue  to  need  men  to  carry  on  the  work 
of  extension  which  is  sure  to  come  as  our  resources  develop. 
There  will  be  new  bridges  to  build.  Concrete  will  replace  steel 
in  many  cases,  and  modern  methods  of  construction  will  take  the 
place  of  older  ones  which  we  have  outgrown. 

The  Department  oi  Civil  Engineering  is  especially  well  sup- 
plied with  the  equipment  necessary  for  giving  the  practical  train- 
ing which  young  men  need  before  entering  the  field  of  actual 
work.  There  is  an  assortment  of  transits,  levels,  plane  tables  and 
other  instruments  of  modern  and  approved  design.  Opportunity 
is  given  for  practice  in  all  the  usual  operations  of  surveying,  and 
a  young  man  after  leaving  College  should  be  able  to  handle  any 
ordinary  problem  that  might  be  presented  to  him. 

The  laboratories  are  well  equipped  with  testing  machines  for 
the  examination  of  the  materials  which  enter  into  engineering 
structures.  Scientific  studies  are  made  of  cement  and  of  the  va- 
rious problems  connected  with  construction  in  reinforced  con- 
crete. The  student  thus  comes  to  realize  the  true  meaning  of  his 
theoretical  training.     The  College  has  the  best  equipment  for  the 


CEMENT   I5RIOUETTE  TESTING

testing  of  road  materials  to  be  found  in  this  part  of  the  country. 
The  facilities  in  the  hydraulic  laboratory  are  better  than  those 
offered  by  many  larger  institutions.  The  student  is  here  made 
familiar  with  the  operation  of  pumps  of  different  kinds,  of  the 
construction  of  water  meters,  and  of  the  laws  governing  the  flow 


of  water  througl 


pipes, 


Humes  and  over  weirs.     Actual  measure- 


ment is  also  made  in  the  field  of  the  discharge  of  streams. 

The  drawing  room  devoted  to  the  work  in  design  is  ideal  in 
all  respects.  Few  institutions  in  the  country  are  better  supplied. 
The  lighting  and  equipment  leave  little  to  be  desired.  It  is  here 
that  the  more  advanced  students  work  out  over  the  drawing 
board  problems  in  design  similar  to  those  which  a  structural  en- 
gineer would  have  to  solve.  A  large  printing  frame,  3  feet  by  5 
feet  is  used  to  make  blueprint  copies  of  all  of  the  drawings.

DEPARTMENT  OF  ARCHITECTURAL  ENGINEERING 

Frederic  Child   Biggin,  Professor 

Oklahoma  is  rapidly  becoming  a  populous  and  wealthy  State. 
Old,  cheap  methods  of  building,  good  enough  in  territorial  times, 
cannot  long  stand  before  such  conditions.  Substantial,  modern 
structures,  often  of  fireproof  construction,  are  springing  up  in  all 
the  large  centers.  The  last  two  buildings  erected  by  the  State  for 
the  College  are  of  reinforced  concrete  and  will  outlast  the  genera- 
tion using  them. 

Without  properly  trained  Architectural  Engineers  it  is  impos- 
sible to  build  permanent  structures.  The  modern  laws  of  the  lar- 
ger cities  rightly  require  the  filing  of  carefully  prepared  plans 
and  specifications  and  their  endorsement  by  some  department  of 
the  government  before  a  building  permit  can  be  issued.  After 
construction  begins,  constant  superintendence  of  materials  and 
workmanship  on  the  architect's  part,  and  rigid  inspection  by  city 
officers  are  also  demanded. 

But  it  is  not  enough  to  erect  structures  that  are  lasting.  Every 
building  should  also  be  planned  for  the  greatest  possible  ef- 
ficiency in  use,  and  where  this  is  not  attained  constant  loss  must 
result  to  both  owner  and  tenant.  Nor  is  this  the  last  word,  for, 
no  matter  how  staunchly  constructed,  nor  how  well  planned  a

building  may  be,  when  it  constitutes  an  eyesore  and  an  architec- 
tural disgrace,  instead  of  a  pride,  to  the  place  of  its  location,  the 
very  permanency  of  it  becomes  a  regret.  As  a  noted  Senator 
said,  years  ago,  of  one  of  the  earlier  Federal  buildings  at  Wash- 
ington, "I  have  but  one  fault  to  find  with  it— the  thing  is  fire- 
proof". 

The  opening  of  the  business  world  for  architectural  engineers 
is  broad.     The  well  balanced  architectural  firm  of  today  consists

of  three  members,  an  architectural  designer,  an  architectural  en- 
gineer and  a  business  manager.  Moreover,  the  great  steel,  terra 
cotta  and  concrete  companies,  and  the  general  construction  com- 
panies, are  continually  on  the  lookout  for  capable,  trained  men, 
both  as  draftsmen  and  superintendents.     Good  salaries  are  paid. 

The  Department  of  Architectural  Engineering  of  the  Okla- 
homa A.  and  M.  College  offers  a  thorough,  practical  and  theo- 
retical training.  Students  who  come  properly  prepared  and  carry 
on  the  four  years'  work  with  earnestness  and  diligence,  after 
graduation  are  ready  to  attack  with  confidence  the  problems  of 
structural  designing,  superintendence,  etc.,  that  come  up  in  the 
modern  office. 

During  the  Freshman  and  Sophomore  years  a  strong  founda- 
tion is  supplied  in  English,  mathematics,  physics  and  chemistry, 
and  these  are  supplemented  by  practical  work  in  the  College 
Shops. 

With  the  Junior  year  begins  the  study  of  building  materials 
and  construction,  history  of  architectural  styles  and  the  Greek 
and  Roman  orders,  applied  mechanics,  graphics  and  roof  trusses. 
Close  attention  is  paid  to  the  preparation  of  working  drawings. 
Shades,  shadows  and  perspective,  pen  and  ink  rendering,  and 
water  color  work  are  also  taken  up. 

In  the  Senior  year  are  covered  strength  of  materials,  masonry, 
reinforced  concrete  and  steel,  skeleton,  fireproof  construction, 
heating  and  ventilating,  specifications,  estimates  of  cost  and  su-

perintendence.    As  much  time  as  possible  is  given  to  architectural 
design. 

For  his  thesis,  each  Senior  student  prepares  preliminary 
sketches  and  complete  working  drawings  for  a  steel  frame  or  re- 
inforced concrete,  fireproof  office  or  commercial  building,  includ- 
ing all  computations  for  structural  work.  Examples  of  such  de- 
signs are  shown. 

All  the  equipment  of  the  entire  School  of  Engineering  of  the 
College  is  used  for  instruction  in  Architectural  Engineering.  In 
the  Shops  students  learn  the  principles  of  carpentry,  the  uses  of 
metals  and  methods  of  working  them.  The  electrical  laboratory 
affords  practical  instruction  in  wiring  and  lighting  of  buildings. 
The  civil  engineering  laboratory  is  used  to  illustrate  methods  of 
testing  the  strength  of  materials,  such  as  cement,  stone,  brick  and 
steel.
